Verse 1

[E]It's no secret that the stars are falling from the sky
It's no secret that our world is in darkness tonight
[A]They say the sun is sometimes eclipsed by a [D]moon
[E]You know I don't see you when she walks in the room

Verse 2

[E]It's no secret that a friend is someone who lets you help
It's no secret that a liar won't believe anyone else
[A]They say a secret is something you tell one other [D]person
[E]So I'm telling you, child

Chorus

[C#m]Love [E]we shine like a burning [A]star
We're falling from the [C#m]sky [E]Tonight a man [A]will
[C#m]Beg a man will crawl [E]on the sheer face of love [A]like a fly on a wall
[A]It's no secret at [E]all

Verse 3

[E]It's no secret that a conscience can sometimes be a pest
It's no secret ambition bites the nails of success
[A]Every artist is a cannibal, every poet is a [D]thief
[E]All kill their inspiration and sing about their grief

Chorus

[C#m]Love [E]we shine like a burning [A]star
We're falling from the [C#m]sky [E]Tonight a man [A]will

[A]It's no secret at [E]all

The universe exploded 'cause of one man's lie

[Em]There's a lot of things, if I could I'd rearrange
[Em] [E] [Em] [E] [Em] [E]
